What do you guys think is going on right now.We all know Dave is getting ready to tour.But do you think VH are recording a collection of songs for Roth to choose from when it comes time for vocals?Or do you think they are waiting for Dave to get his voice back in shape with his mini tour.Or dare i say it? Do you think some of the VH members will join Roth on stage to test the waters?

I'm also wondering if Dave will be making some kind of comments Saturday to the crowd.He knows that the fans will be wanting to know what the hell has been going on the past 2 years.I can't wait to hear what he has to say.Theres no way he's going on that stage without mentioning something about Van Halen.

one of two things is happening:
1. they know exactly what they are doing and are in the midst of getting it together

or

2. nothing is going on.

i don't fault eddie solely for all of this.
anyone with half a brain should realize that in the grand scheme of life, VH is merely a form of entertainment. that said, i realize full well that there are more important things in the life of a 40-something man who is financially well off. 2 things immediately come to mind: family and health.
if eddie wants to be a full-time dad while he recovers, so be it. he could retire and i wouldn't lose an ounce of respect for him or any other member of the band.

WHAT I DO BLAME THE ENTIRE VAN HALEN CAMP FOR IS THE COMPLETE LACK OF ANY PUBLIC RELATIONS SKILLS WHATSOEVER!!!!!!!

All the aforementioned are good points. It's hard to tell what is in store for us fans. Eddie, Valerie, and Michael have all contradicted themselves somewhat with all the things they've said. I really think Ed is trying to fully recover from this cancer thing and then let the chips fall where they may. I'm sure something will leak out between Val's appearance on Regis this Friday and the the Roth concert. It would be totally awesome if Ed, AL, and Mike reunited with Dave at one of his shows.

I think Dave and VH are going to try very hard to make it work. I also think they've recorded more than a grand total of 3 songs in the last year and a half, though that's just a hunch that I have. I do think they're going to release at least one more CD in the future, whether it be a new album, an album of cleaned up demo's and other rarities, or a BOV2. I think that if VH and Dave simply cannot set aside their differences enough to tour, then VH as a band will call it quits and pursue solo projects.

So the question becomes, will VH and Dave reunite? I just don't have a gut feeling on that one way or the other.

They could be. At this point, I don't know if they've got Dave in mind for whatever they're cooking up. But Mike keeps talking about them "working," so they're doing something. (Top secret, as always. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

That's an optimistic view. I wish this were the case... But I doubt it is. There's no doubt that VH will keep an eye (and all ears) out on the shows to guage Dave. I think the better Dave does, the better the chances of VH feeling forced to try and get things rolling with him ASAP.

That's assuming things aren't dead in the water.

Now that's optimistic. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] I don't see any chance of this happening.

From everywhere there\'s a beach, sand and a whole lotta woman in the sun.

WTF! I've been out of the loop for too long...anyway on my thoughts on the VH situation right now?
I think that VH is NOW ready to record, after all these layoff time, they are ready.
As for Roth touring the summer...he's just warming up, He's like Jordan now just getting in shape for a comeback.
And when we get our hands on the new album get ready to blow your roof top, that one gonna kick serious ass.

If dreams come true, let it be right here, right now

I think the fact people are in school so much longer adds to this issue. This is especially true for those who borrow money for school.
